Originally Posted By LuLu I don't think you have a choice of section, unless you buy the dining package. I really think the dining section is best tho, as it's centered, plus purposely left uncrowded. It's easy to get unobstructed, panoramic views in the back by the railing, even if you don't arrive super early. Plus, I just appreciate that we're not crammed in like sardines. But I can't really speak for the other sections...

The dining section would be great, because you can see (provided no one puts a kid up in front of you, or like retlawfan, has to watch it through someone's camcorder screen) and you don't get super wet.

I would recommend anyone who wants to see WoC for the first time ... they should use this guide to help them plan their WoC visit.

It's unusual for me to splurge like this, but I do find it to be worth it.

I'd tell you my exact days there, but frankly have no idea when they're going to be at present. BTW, do you expect the special 'holiday' versions to make their debuts this year or get pushed off since it's first year? ~RIP: Little Squirt~
